Cost

At the monastery, everything from teachings to facilities are available for free, and kept available through our supporter's generosity. This constitutes a mutually supportive relationship where the lay people offer material support to keep the monastics living and healthy, while the monastics offer spiritual teachings and keep establishments such as monasteries alive for the benefit of everyone. This structure nurtures a relationship of mutual trust, affection and respect. Please see https://www.lokuttara.net/supporting for more info.
